Hazy Shade of Winter Lyrics

While the number of hits on my blog for the MMBT's "The Impression That I Get" is impressive, I've also been getting a number of people searching for the lyrics to A Hazy Shade of Winter. (But they don't seem to know that's the title... I've seen leaves are brown and time time time see what's become of me.)

The song was done originally by Simon and Garfunkel and was redone in the 80s by the Bangles. To help those searchers out, here are the lyrics:

Time, time, time, see whats become of meWhile I looked aroundFor my possibilitiesI was so hard to pleaseBut look around, leaves are brownAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army bandDown by the riverside, its bound to be a better rideThan what youve got plannedCarry your cup in your handAnd look around, leaves are brown nowAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friendThats an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass awaySimply pretendThat you can build them againLook around, the grass is highThe fields are ripe, its the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the sceneryWeaving time in a tapestryWont you stop and remember meAt any convenient timeFunny how my memory slips while looking over manuscriptsOf unpublished rhymeDrinking my vodka and lime

But look around, leaves are brown nowAnd the sky is a hazy shade of winter
